installing the nvidia driver (nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174...)
First at all thank you for all your replies. Finally I did proceed following the next steps: - m-a -t prepare - m-a -k /usr/src/linux a-i nvidia I compiled my kernel from source and its source is located at /usr/src/linux. I'm using the 2.6.13.1 version. The above instructions were completed successfully: the nvidia-kernel package was created and also it was installed without any problem. I run modprobe nvidia to make a test and it seems to work. Later I modified the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file: - I did comment the GLCore and dri lines - I change the driver to nvidia But... when the gdm tries to run it throws an error. Into the XFree log file i found the following lines: (EE): Failed to load module nvidia (module does not exist, 0) (EE): No drivers availabe What is happening? It sounds strange because i can load the module running modprobe... :-( Now i'm writing from a i386 Debian Sid and the XF86Config-4 files is exactly equal to the file which i'm using in the amd64 version. Thanks in advance... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

hello,sorry for my orrible english
i am returned to debian after 2 year that i used gentoo
i found debian now very very good, i have installed it on my laptop and
all things is good, but i have a little problem on my desktop that for
me is impossible to solve, it is a week that i google on the internet
but i don't found nothing
in my laptop i386 i have an nvida graphic card and i have installed
nvidia driver and 3d accelleration is good
in my desktop amd64 i have an nvidia graphic card but i don't succeed to
install nvidia graphic driver

Re: driver nvidia
Daniele,
I recently had this problem solved thanks to the excellent help from Jens
Vogel who wrote to me the following:
Hi,
Basically there are four steps to follow if you want to get nVidia
support working. Non-free must be included in your sources.list.
1. apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-kernel-common
2. Follow the steps in
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian
3. apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings
4. Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Done.
Hope that helps,
Jens
Follow this and it will do the trick!
Brian (Thanks Jens!)

In /usr/src/linux, issue make-kpkg modules_image kernel_image (Skip kernel_image if you're not building a kernel) That builds nvidia-kernel-2.6.10_1.0.6629+1-1+1_amd64.deb Install it and apt-get nvidia-kernel-common, nvidia-glx, and nvidia-settings. Pitfalls -- you need the source or header files for your current kernel. I typically make new nvidia drivers when I rebuild my kernel, so they always match. I use 2.6.9-ac6 and don't know for a fact that 2.6.10 works out of the box; others on the list will know. Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: driver nvidia
with all yours help i solved my problem i used a wronng directory and a wrong gcc, i changed directory and i installed gcc3.4 and all now is good now i have a 3d accelleration and i am playing tuxkart :-) thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
